Chapter 58: LONG TAO’S POWER

Seeing Long Tao standing in front of them, many were surprised, but soon enough they were showing up a mocking expression.” You must be Vice-leader Long Tao. We have come here to pay a visit to the Black-buck leader. If you may report it to her, then we will have the conversation.”. Long Tao didn’t bother even looking at the person who spoke. He just started inspecting the formation. The people around started to get angry due to Long Tao’s arrogance. But before they could step forward to take action, Long Tao turned and looking whimsical said: “Who among you were involved in the breaking of the formation I had built?”. The people were shocked, but just then Long Tao continued. “It is just for research. Sir what attack may you have used do attack the Qi barrier. The person who spoke earlier said haughtily.” I used the tiger tail whip kick.” “Would you mind showing it to me again?”. Seeing Long Tao’s approach and the confidence he had due to the group behind him, he stepped forward and attacked Long Tao with the technique. Long Tao, caught his leg, twisted it to the extreme, breaking it up and then he took out his sword and shaved it off. The whole group, Including Lin Zhong, were shocked. Long Tao dared to do this. “with how weak your attack was, this won’t be the only thing that was involved in the breaking. It means there were multiple people involved in the breaking of the formation. Who else was there please step forward” The half-shaven body of the lieutenant who spoke was still lying on the ground bleeding? If not tended to soon, he will die of excessive blood loss. The lieutenants who accompanied Lin Zhong to the dwelling, all step forward at the same time. “How dare you injure your superiors?”. “Shut the fuck up, weaklings. You would be killed by me blindfolded. I will ask again, who were the ones involved in the breaking? Step forward fast.”. “All of us were involved, what are you going to do?”. “That is going to be a drag. Fina”. Long Tao began calculating the resources and then he said” this is the budget of making the formation that you have broken. Multiply it by a times hundred, is what each one of you is going to pay me. You have one-month time to gather the payment, each one of you.” He looked at Lin Zhong when he said that. The lieutenants started to laugh” What are you going to do if we deny the payment.” Long Tao, moved and shaved the limbs of the guy. Another one of them was lying in a pool of blood. This time the whole group attacked ta the same time, hoping to pin Long Tao down. Long Tao moved and attacked each one of them simultaneously. 1o minutes into the fight, all of the attackers were lying in their individual pool of blood, not being able to move. Long Tao then started walking towards the Wing-commander. Lin Zhong was shocked by the events proceeding. He never imagined that Long Tao was so strong that he could easily take down the whole group.” What are you doing vice-leader? You do know that what you just did could be treated as the betrayal to the military and you could be kicked out of the north-eastern regions forever?”. Long Tao laughed at him and said “I have visual proof of who attacked first. So, this is just self-defense”. Lin Zhong was shocked and impressed by Long Tao’s preparation. “Now they are going to pay 150 times the cost of the formation and they have 20 days to gather the resources. It is that or their lives.” Lin Zhong walked towards Long Tao and said with a serious tone” You should be too arrogant vice-leader. There are some people you can’t afford to offend.”. “I do know about that fact and don’t worry, neither them, nor you are that sort of person to me. Now before you leave. You are to answer my question, but let put it in a different way. What gave you the damn guts to break into my mansion?” Lin Zhong was shocked by Long Tao’s mockery and cold attitude. He was pissed. He gathers Qi and attacked Long Tao with it. How could a beginner Qi master realm expert even bother Long Tao? Long Tao dodged the attack and started on the offensive. He didn’t hold back even a little. Long Tao used the dominator’s fist to attack Lin Zhong in the chest. The whole area was caved in to and Lin Zhong spewed blood. He was looking shocked at understanding the power of Long Tao and from the looks of it, he wasn’t even giving it his best.

Long Tao managed to not only break-through Qi Master at such an early age but was also so powerful that Lin Zhong couldn’t compete with him for power. Long Tao suddenly called a person from inside and asked him” If we were to calculate the number of resources that the blackbuck squad would make in case they wouldn’t have been halted due to the action of the Wing-commander, how much do you think we could have made by now.”. The person gave a rough estimate.” Around 2000 low-grade spirit stones sir, from the resource allocation and another 4000 from the completion of resources. Hence the total amount would be around 6000 low-grade spirit stones.”. Long Tao nodded and then turned over to the Lin Zhong and said ” If you had enough power I would have dropped it, but you are just a spoiled piece of weakling shit and hence, you are going to compensate my squad he damages you did to them. The number of times 100 should be available in addition to the charges due to the formation by the end of this month. Now fuck off.”. The person beside Long Tao was scared shitless. The vice-leader was asking 100 times the amount. It would be around 600,000 low-grade spirit stones or 600 middle-grade spirit stones. That was a very big amount.

Lin Zhong was bubbling with anger. This guy dared to look down on him just from a single confrontation., He drew out his sword and ran towards Long Tao. Long Tao didn’t even flinch. He decided to try one of his arts, that he haven’t really utilised until now. It was called a diversion. Just as the sword was going to hit his body, Long Tao took a stance and misdirected the sword, along with Lin Zhong’s body, throwing him in the other way with zero efforts. The skill basically used the opponent’s power against him, thus nullifying the threat. Long Tao used to practice is daily, but never did it come to use. Lin Zhong here provided to be the perfect target. From what Long to could see of the results, it was really effective. Long Tao continued the deflection and Lin Zhong was continuously being, thrown here and there. Soon enough even Lin Zhong’s Qi reserve started to deplete. Recognizing his condition, Lin Zhong stopped for a moment. He needed to calm himself down and work his wits up. He looked at Long Tao and then changed his stance. This stance surprised Long Tao. Deflection used the rule of reading an opponent’s movements from their behavioral stance and then deflect them with the help of rotation. But Lin Zhong’s current stance was like that of Long Mengchen. It didn’t give up any pattern of movements and hence Long Tao couldn’t think of a way to deflect. No deflection also utilized the law of rotation and Long Tao didn’t just concentrate on the deflecting part of it. He developed a new type of change. So, he wanted to experiment on a subject. Lin Zhong was proving to be the best one as time went by. Long Tao was surprised to see someone so talented appearing, that he could adjust to the scene so quickly. Although it was still a no bother for Long Tao’s current power level. But how could he leave such a good subject back.

The brawl was about to resume again. Lin Zhong was gratified to see that Long Tao was not able to take a stance now. His assumption was right. Long Tao’s technique depended upon the prediction factor of opponents’ movement and then deflecting them. He then used the randomized sword that he practiced and attacked Long Tao. True to his assumptions, Long Tao decided to confront him now. But he still didn’t use Qi. All he did was to confront with just his body. The fight continued and eventually, Long Tao ‘s body got hurt. Lin Zhong was visibly elated to see his attack actually land. But he soon realized how na?ve he was. The opponent was not even using Qi and he was already using his wits to the end. As the fight continued, he started feeling awe of Long Tao’s prowess. Although the guy was an enemy, he still deserved his respect as a warrior. Long Tao too got surprised by the injury. He started commending Lin Zhong’s adaptability skills. The last time, he was bruised by an opponent, it was Long Mengchen. None were able to land a blow on him.

The next thought in Long Tao’s mind was to primarily evolve the usage of the theory of rotation. It gave an additional, momentum to the attack making it higher in power. What Long Tao wanted to do was to experiment with how he could inculcate this. The basic of inculcation was already present as he used his body’s hip rotation in all types of weapon art, but it is difficult to think of a new approach. The fight continued and Long Tao was confronting the weapon with his bare hands. Just then, due to a small movement, the confrontation between the hand and the weapon gave a surprising result. Due to the tinge of turn, the weapon slipped by the hand, negating its effect. This sudden outcome gave Long Tao a huge insight. A theory started to generate in his mind. This can be a way to do it. The next confrontation saw something miraculous. Long Tao started to deflect the sword attacks with just his hands. This resulted in even more injuries, but soon enough Lin Zhong began to feel that his attacks were becoming ineffective. Soon enough a complete deflection was seen. Lin Zhong was shocked. How could this be? Lin Zhong was shocked and just in this moment of carelessness, he let his guard down, which resulted in Long Tao giving him a power-packed blow in the gut, sending him flying to the ground.
